When leftists attack so few people (no, Charlie Kirk's shooter wasn't a leftist) that they just need to fake their own shit all the damn time.
Yes he was, and I dont really understand why anyone is making this an argument. If he was right wing, he would have loved Kirk. Everyone who knows him said he was holding very strong pro LGBT opinions, something an extremist right winger wouldnt. He was also dating a trans woman... I mean, need I go on?
Why the fuck are you all so bothered that this nutjob was one of yours??? Its not like youre an unhinged psycho as well, just because you share opinions.
He was a known goyper (REALLY far right extremist) through his social media accountsb
The suspect has not made a comment on his political leanings. The only person who has is Utah Republican governer Spencer Cox, and republican president Donald Trump, neither of which are well known for their level headed honesty.
Nothing that I said is in dispute. So the question still stands, why do any of you care????
Because I'm an immigrant and green card holder and the current administration is adversarial towards people like me, and stoking those fires leads to a worse quality of life for me and my family.
And what does any of that have to do with the shooter??? Am I a speaking a different fucking language here? What does you being an immigrant have to do with whether of not the shooter was left or right wing???
He was a 4chan nihilist.
It has nothing to do with what he “would have” thought of Kirk. What’s established by his family’s testimony is that he broke from their conservative ideologies not long before his heinous act and expressed sympathy for Leftist views. Yes, he absolutely was Left-leaning, but came from a Right-wing family.
Ultimately, it doesn’t really matter. The statistics still show the Right-wing extremists are more violent on average, and by a long shot.
lmao. The dude was literally using weasel words to imply trans people and black people are responsible for school shootings when hus neck did that.
Stopping him from justifying violence against marginalized people is the opposite of heinous.
most yankees don't have coherent political views
He was a mormon kid who wanted people to be nice to each other. And shot someone about it. That's not really right or left.
Bro really doesnt know about ideological infighting.
People who agree with the right are pretty much always psycho nutjobs in some way, so yes.
Youre the right, ya dope. America has no left wing.
so he's at most a centrist from that information
In a county of right and further right? No. Hes just more to your right than their right.
